I have to admit that I’m really disappointed with myself. Going into the start of the quarter, I had a list of trading resolutions that I planned to carry out. I think I came short of carrying most of them out though.

1. Always consider the macroeconomic environment

I never disregarded the fundamentals before pulling the trigger on any setup. However, I did not take into consideration events that might have affected the fundamental landscape keeping me from adjusting my trades accordingly.

2. Wait for sufficient confirmation

Not wanting to miss out on any potential move while I was not on keeping tabs on the market, I set buy/sell orders for most of my trades. Consequently, some of my trades got triggered without the necessary confirmation.

3. Avoid going against the overall trend

Ah, I think I did a pretty good job in fulfilling this promise. The problem though is, I didn’t really feel the trend being my friend as I messed up on my trade management. Boo!

4. Get a boyfriend

Boy-whut?!

Arrrgh! I wouldn’t even be surprised if Santa Claus doesn’t pay me a visit this year for not keeping my promises. I think it won’t do me any good if I come up with new ones so I’ll be sure to do my best to address these issues. (FYI, number 4 isn’t necessary because I believe fate will play its part.)
